Livia stood before a small mirror, cracked at one corner.

Her reflection appeared faint, fractured by the thin line splitting the glass. She gazed at herself for quite some time, as though trying to recognize the figure standing before her.

She wore very simple clothes—a pale long-sleeved shirt that had long since lost its original shape, and a pair of black trousers that looked worn from being used too often.

There was nothing special.

Nothing striking.

In fact… far too ordinary for someone li

    Adrian closed his eyes as he rested his head against the edge of the bathtub.Warm water surrounded his body, yet it did nothing to calm his mind.Instead, the longer he stayed there—the clearer Livia’s image became inside his head.The woman’s innocent gaze. Her beautiful face that looked so calm. And the way her hands had removed his clothes earlier without the slightest hesitation.Adrian clenched his jaw lightly.“That woman is truly unbelievable…”His low mutter echoed softly inside the bathroom filled with warm steam.He had deliberately tried to humiliate Livia. Deliberately wanted to see her panic, feel embarrassed, or cry after being treated that way.But the result had completely backfired.Livia had been too calm.Too obedient.And it was precisely that attitude that made Adrian even more irritated.He slowly opened his eyes. His gaze remained blank as he stared at the water’s surface.No woman could possibly stay that calm while undressing a man.Especially after their fi

    Livia woke up because she could feel someone watching her.Her eyes slowly opened.And the moment she saw Adrian standing not far in front of her—her body jolted.She hurriedly stood up and immediately rushed over with a panicked expression.“Master… you’re home already?”Her voice sounded slightly hoarse from just waking up.But Adrian did not answer right away.He simply stood there silently, observing Livia from head to toe.His gaze was sharp.Cold.And somehow, it felt as though he was evaluating something.The home clothes the woman was wearing looked terribly worn for someone who was supposedly the daughter of the Robert family.The fabric looked thin.The color had faded.And several seams looked as though they were about to come apart.Those were not clothes suitable for the wife of the De Luca family.Adrian’s eyes slowly narrowed.Hadn’t Charlie once said that Livia liked stealing her belongings?Then why was this woman dressed like someone who could not even afford new cl

    David stood in front of the large office desk with a straight posture, his hands clasped neatly in front of him.The room was still filled with the sound of keyboard typing as Adrian’s fingers moved rapidly without pause.“Would you like to go home earlier today, Sir?”David asked in a low, professional tone.“No.”The answer came shortly. Coldly. Adrian did not even shift his gaze from the computer screen in front of him.David was already used to that kind of attitude.“Understood, Sir.”He did not ask another question. After slightly bowing his head, the man immediately left the CEO’s office.Click.The door closed slowly.The room fell silent once again.Only the sound of typing could still be heard for a few seconds… before it eventually stopped.Adrian leaned back against his chair.His gaze remained fixed forward, but his mind slowly filled with memories from the previous night.About Livia.About the woman sleeping on the cold floor without complaining even once.About her pal

    Livia truly remembered Adrian’s words from that morning.“Don’t come home later than me.”The sentence kept echoing in her mind all day long, even while she was in the laboratory.Because of that, as soon as campus activities ended and the afternoon research session had to be paused, Livia immediately organized all her notes and samples as quickly as possible.She hurriedly closed her notebook.“I’ll continue tomorrow…” she murmured softly while looking at the small tubes lined up on the laboratory table.One of the students standing not far from her glanced over in confusion.“You’re leaving unusually early today, Livia.”Livia immediately gave a small smile.“Yes. I have to go home.”“You still haven’t eaten since this morning.”The student frowned while looking at the apple beside Livia’s desk.“Don’t tell me that’s your only meal again.”Livia quickly hid the apple inside her bag with a slightly awkward expression.“I really like the apples here. They’re very sweet. Besides, I’m n

    Robert walked through the back corridor of the mansion with calm steps.However, his brows slowly furrowed.He was looking for Rossa.Usually, the woman would always be in the back garden around this hour. Pulling weeds, trimming flowers, or quietly watering Melly’s plants without saying much.But this time—Rossa was nowhere to be seen.Robert’s gaze slowly swept across the surroundings.Until finally, his eyes caught something on the marble floor of the corridor.Blood.There were quite a lot of red stains, even stretching faintly like traces left behind by someone walking while injured.Several servants were busy cleaning it.Robert stopped walking.His expression shifted slightly.“Whose blood is that?”One of the servants immediately lowered his head nervously.“It belongs to the person who fed the dogs earlier, Sir.”Robert looked at the servant expressionlessly.“Bitten?”“Yes, Sir.”The servant answered carefully.“The dogs got loose while being fed.”Robert fell silent for a

    Rossa’s face had turned deathly pale.Blood continued to flow from the bite wounds covering her body, soaking through the worn clothes clinging to her skin. Every step she took felt unbearably heavy, as if her bones were shattering beneath the endless pain stabbing through her body.Her entire body trembled.Her lips quivered softly as she tried to suppress the whimpers escaping from them.But no one came to help her.The back corridor of the mansion was completely silent. The small room where Rossa lived was located far behind the main residence, in the most isolated part of the estate. A place even the servants rarely passed by.As if her existence had been deliberately hidden away.Rossa walked slowly while supporting herself against the wall.Faint trails of blood stained the floor with every weak step she took forward.“It hurts so much…”Her voice was barely audible.Her breathing became increasingly uneven.Yet amidst all the pain—the only thing that kept appearing in her mind
